A source told People magazine that the 39-year-old rapper generally has “big ups and big downs, but this bout seems to be much more serious. In the hospital he has been very paranoid and is under constant watch for his safety.”

“He’s still there because clearly he’s not doing well,” the insider added.

Earlier last week, West was hospitalised shortly after he cancelled the remaining dates of his Saint Pablo tour.

Wife Kim Kardashian West had been “very concerned” as she spent Thanksgiving morning by West’s side in the hospital.

However, another source revealed that it remains unclear when the Fade rapper will be able to return home, but claimed that a recent update was a positive one.

“They tell me he’s doing good,” the source said, adding that “He’s been really eager to make music and to work even from the hospital bed.”
